No witnesses appeared Tuesday at the Specialized Criminal Court in Banská Bystrica, but the day proved significant for both the defense and the accused in the “Purge” case. Defense lawyers played wiretaps from the offices of investigators from the now-disbanded National Criminal Agency (NAKA) – Ján Čurilla, Pavol Ďurka, and others. These recordings are central to the defense’s argument that the investigators were biased when investigating Tibor Gašpar, Norbert Bödör, Dušan Kováčik, and others. The defense claims the recordings demonstrate a lack of impartiality in the probe. It remains to be seen whether the wiretaps will prove bias or are simply unsubstantiated claims. The authenticity and interpretation of the evidence are crucial in determining the outcome of this high-profile case in Banská Bystrica.
